We’re known for giving aspiring entrepreneurs a chance to turn their concepts into successful businesses. Mercato Centrale serves as a business incubator, providing a low-cost, high-traffic platform for food startups. Many of the homegrown brands you love today got their start with us, growing from a simple stall into full-blown restaurants. Our mission is to continue nurturing the local food scene, celebrating the rich flavors of Filipino and international cuisines, and bringing people together through a one-of-a-kind food experience.
Since 2010, Mercato Centrale has been at the forefront of the Philippines’ street food revolution. Inspired by the vibrant food markets of Florence and Asia, we created a unique lifestyle food market that’s more than just a place to eat. It’s a platform for passion and a launching pad for the next generation of great Filipino food brands. We’ve built a lively community where culinary creativity thrives in a fun, casual, and energetic atmosphere.
